It's a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog's nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel's cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet's nails without cutting.
We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who's endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on.
Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on.
The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us.
We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time.
If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it's a tail-wagger. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great help The noise of the grooming tool does seem to unsettle the canine on which it's being used but it works well to pare down her nails.
Great idea that needs to be refined. I think the product is a great idea. But having to switch feet each nail because of the heat it builds is just to annoying. Plus my babies don't have that kind off patiences.
It is NOT like the one shown on TV. I was very disappointed in this item. It is not like shown on TV. It is simply a dremmel tool like the ones the guys use in the work shop! It frightens the cats. No recommendation here.
Works fine, but... ...our dog absolutely hates both the noise and the feeling that this makes against his claws. He is a lab/border collie mix. We got this because he always makes such a ruckus at the vet getting his nails clipped. I was afraid to trim his nails, and thought this would be a good compromise. Since our dog hated this so much we couldn't keep him still, we ordered the bamboo nail clippers instead and he likes those a lot better. If your dog is sensitive to noise, I would avoid this product.
